The Alien Among You
Have you ever felt like an alien on Earth? Do you look at things we do on Earth and think, "Why do we do these things?" Why do we let hoards of wealth concentrate on a few individuals while others starve? Why are we actively killing our precious ecosystems, the things that literally keep us alive? Well if you have, you're like me. You're an alien looking in on the human race. Let's explore what we see when we take this perspective. Let's turn our every day on its head.
In this podcast, the team at The Alien Among You will explore evidence-based arguments for why we think some things that we do on Earth make no sense, then look into ways we can improve our planet for all, and have some fun doing it along the way. To try and keep things fresh, will have several types of episodes. Some short-form episodes will look at cool Earth things. Longer episodes will explore an aspect of Earth that makes no sense to us and how we can change it. We will invite experts on for interviews to give us their views and criticisms on topics that we have covered. And finally, we will have guests that just want to have some fun!
So stick around fellow Aliens, lets make the world a better place and have a blast doing it!
